Abstract

One of the things that everyone loves most about staying in a hotel, or in the city or on the far corner of the world, is getting to know each other. For years, the hotel plan was almost the same, whether you live in a $ 100 room or a $ 1,000 suite. But that model - a comfortable entrance with a front desk and a carriage; a room full of small toiletries and a turndown service with a folded duvet and one chocolate in your pillow - has been transformed. Popular products have long since disappeared or been found in large chains. The services we rely on have been removed or replaced with a new set of features designed to benefit the new generation of travelers. The hotel room trend has changed to accommodate changing needs and tastes. Wasn’t it only a few years ago that free Wi-Fi was the most talked-about “thing” in the hotel industry? What a shift in focus to robot butlers, out-of-pocket settlement methods, and “mesmeric” experiences! Indeed, hotel styles are quite transcendent. So, passing by quickly, we thought it would be interesting to take a step back in time and point out some of the best hotel routes in the last hundred years. Some have come and gone (whatever happened to all those vibrating beds?), While others, like the chocolates in our pillows continue to be a pillar of today.
